2018 Mayor’s Holiday Lighting by Xfinity and Ent Credit Union

O’Brien Park comes alive for the holidays at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 23. Gather around the Town Tree and join the mayor and the Parker Chorale in a sing-along to “Silent Night” to kick off the event. Then, the mayor and the Parker Town Council will count down to the Town Tree and Grand Park Lighting which lights up the park in white elegance.

Stroll around O’Brien Park and take in the sights of the fun holiday ice sculpture displays following a path to each of the six displays. While you stroll through the park, you can enjoy tasty food from holiday food vendors.

The O’Brien Park Gazebo will also come to life with the sounds of the holidays from the Parker Chorale and local high school choirs. The Colorado School of Dance performers will also be at the event and will showcase one of their dances on stage as well.

Driver’s Education Scholarship Opportunity

Affordable Driving School is a locally owned and operated company that provides Colorado State Certified Drivers Education with state-certified instructors. They are also able to offer the driver’s license test right on site, allowing you to avoid lengthy and confusing DMV scheduling. With in-class, online and behind-the-wheel instruction, they offer free pickup and dropoff at local high schools and any residence within seven miles of the school. Driver’s education is an important process for parents to be able to make sure our children are safe out on the roads, but it can be expensive. Affordable Driving School is working with Denver Metro Teen Driver’s safety team and is now accepting applications for a scholarship program that allows students to win free driver’s ed. Applications, which will include a 500-word essay about how distracted driving has affected you, are currently being accepted.
